History

While Houston is now America's fourth most populous city, things were different at its founding in 1836. Brothers named John and Augustus Allen advertised the formation of Houston in a Texas newspaper, but by the beginning of 1837 the town boasted just a dozen residents. Growth came quickly despite a reputation for wildness and several yellow fever epidemics. Houston not only survived but also thrived as the years went by, making today's gracious standard of living possible.

The modern Inner Loop area encompasses the charming cities of West University Place and Bellaire along with portions of Houston. These family friendly, tight-knit cities boost their own fire departments, community centers and parks. With a mixture of original cottages/bungalows and new construction, the blend is beautiful. Not withstanding these two cities within the city, many other outstanding communities exist in the Inner Loop. The affluent River Oaks neighborhood features columned mansions along tree lined street with its exclusive River Oaks Country Club. All these communities have easy access to downtown and maintain their value.

Houston has a fantastic Parks and Recreation Department, and the people living in this vibrant quarter of the city have access to many parks and community centers. Perhaps the most popular park in the area is Hermann Park with its outstanding amenities that include a golf course. Citizens of all ages and abilities take part in the local recreation programs.

Houston's calendar is packed from January to December with events like the Martin Luther King Jr. Grand Parade, barbecue competitions, livestock shows and golf tournaments. Holidays are festive with the 4th of July celebration and the Christmas Festival of Lights.
